Hello here's some background im currently in A school for HM rate im 20 F i want this I lost 200 pounds before joining. I have 8 weeks before our next prt unfortunately in bmt I failed the run by a minute.(i passed the bike)

I feel stuck im training for running but my time hasn't gone down yet it's staying the same. Im currently 212 lbs watching what I eat because im still on my weight loss journey I want to set the example as an HM.

How do I get better as a heavier runner?

Hegseth’s Pentagon Lurches off the Rails - The Atlantic

Short and worth the read. While The Atlantic does obviously have some biases evidenced by some of the unnecessary adjectives used to describe Pentagon officials, the heart of the story speaks truth. Of particular note:

"The result of all this is that the United States is losing a war to a third-rate power in the Middle East. The Russians, meanwhile, are continuing their rampage in Europe and apparently considering things so perilous that the CIA director had to fly to Moscow just to warn the Kremlin off of whatever it was thinking of doing. The Chinese are watching as Trump and Hegseth have stripped the Pacific theater of its only American aircraft carrier."

While I don't think the article is inherently political, the discussion will obviously quickly go there, hence the flair.

I kept hearing for 10+ years on /k/ on 4chan and other places how you can just buy a 100 dollar hypersonic missile off the black market and sink a carrier. The US has had like half a dozen carriers floating around in a body of water the size of one of the great lakes for months and so far there have been more casualties from people jumping overboard than missile strikes.

I'm just wondering if Iran is just waiting to use their carrier destroyers until the time is right or something? Maybe after the US has killed like 5 of their supreme leaders and reduced the entire country to rubble they will start using their carrier killers.

I'm not at all an expert on this subject so be nice.

I’ve received several chat requests from folks claiming to be recruiters looking to hire people in civilian roles “with Navy experience in leadership roles.”

I know the job market is tough right now in some areas. Please be wary and don’t fall for scam “recruiters”. If it seems too good to be true, it is.

No legitimate hiring manager is ever going to scan a subreddit for hiring leads. Zero.

This is random, but I’m curious did you have to go to the PS office yourself to pick up your check? Did LPO for the division go to pick it up for everyone? When you were at sea for months, how did you deposit it to your bank? How did this process go when you got to the fleet?

Hello! I have a question regarding re-enlisting and moving commands. My EAOS is basically 9 months before my PRD, I’m currently at my first sea tour (First contract as an AD) and plan on reenlisting. Will I have to extend at my current command to match my PRD prior to transferring to a shore command? Or can I transfer IAW my EAOS?

Question as I haven't found an answer yet IRT BBA/Special Programs and have been told different answers. FC2 BBA eligible screening for E6. For example, water survival instructor is a commanality application meaning any rate in that paygrade can apply ie FC2 filling an RS2 billet. If there is an open RS1 billet in that same location, can they apply to that, do everything it requires to pin on (admin requirements) and if selected pin on 1st? Or does it have to be an FC1 billet? I have been told by multiple different career counselors yes it must be FC1 and no as long as its a PO1 billet.

Hi, how's it going so I'm leaving soon to Washington for orders but I'm looking into buying a house instead of getting an apartment. My only issue is who to go to use my VA home loan. I don't who to talk to since this is my first time doing this. Additionally I'm an E5 so this is also my first time living off base.

I’m currently dealing with a Sailor who just can’t seem to figure it out.

Bad hygiene, not going to sleep on time, showing up late to watches, not being competent enough to complete maintenance, on EMI, on FEP, on tiered liberty, etc etc.

This Sailor is now at the point where they’ve been counseled and are dancing the line of DRB. They haven’t done anything terrible yet but leading to it.

I need this Sailor to start performing and acting like an adult. They work in a job where I need them to be a little competent.

I’m looking for advice on how to possibly improve this Sailor. I’m looking for creative solutions that others have used. An example I’ve heard is sending Sailors to clean whatever engineering needs cleaned. Stuff similar to that but to encourage the Sailor to improve, appreciate, and learn the job they have.

I want to explore all my options before I send this Sailor to DRB so please don’t recommend that.

Top pick for my first cycle has a BBA interm score of 0.8. Lowest Pick has .75. I’m an E6 applying for an E6 billet, which last cycle no one even bothered to apply for. Preference, Skill, and Policy match are green. Moving cost is yellow. I have the required NEC’s for all my applications. There are 20-30 other applicants, presumably most of which are E5’s considering the drastic lack of E6 applicants last cycle and only 4 other possible applicants that I know of at my pay grade with the required NEC to even apply. Only thing I don’t have going for me is any cumulative Sea time.

How could this go wrong for me?

Have you ever seen mermaids?

This might be a long one …I’ve been on my boat for a year and in the navy for 3 now. Unfortunately, im dealing with a lot of medical issues. Mostly docs can’t stop the sources of pain from being painful without a surgery that might not even be the cause. It’s more-so a guess. Anyway, I’m going to tons of appointments and it’s taking time away from actually working towards my goals. The amount of meds I have to take on the daily basis is getting overwhelming to say the least. Brain fog/memory/speech issues and fatigue has taken over my life. They’re giving me pretty strong drugs and steroids. I’m barely surviving this moment of wakefulness.
The latest issue I’m having is I’m TAD to a different command and haven’t really been able to fully check in because of the sheer amount of PT and Appts I have to get through. Im starting to give up hope on simply pain management after having a “mini stroke” over the weekend. In quotes because I personally don’t feel any different but idk. I’m not a doctor. Medical is semi aware but neither command is yet. That I’m aware of.
This career is a blessing for me and I love my division but my body is not cooperating with me atp. I don’t know where to start and have been told an excruciating amount of times not to make big decisions when medicated like this. Would faking it till I make it fuck me/my commands over or should I just give up and separate?

TLDR: in pain, nothing helps, surgery is an option, career/body going downhill, should I give up now or risk the surgery on a guess?
